Stellar Repair for Photo vs Stellar Repair for Video

Stellar Repair for Photo is a desktop application for repairing corrupt or damaged JPEG/JPG and other photo files on Windows and macOS. It repairs files locally and can process multiple photos in one operation. The Windows format list includes JPEG, RAW, TIFF, HEIC, MxPEG, and numerous camera formats. For severely corrupt JPEG files, Advanced Repair uses a sample JPEG from the same camera as the damaged file. The free evaluation download lets users preview repaired photos, but registration is required to save them. The product FAQ describes the software as read-only, so it does not edit or modify JPEG files. It also states that the Windows software cannot repair compressed JPEG files and may fail if a JPEG marker is missing. Listed plans are Standard at $39.99 a year, Professional at $59.99 a year, and Premium at $69.99 a year. The listed license is for a single system, and the FAQ states that purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Stellar Repair for Video repairs damaged or inaccessible recordings from cameras, phones, and other video devices. It works with files on memory cards, USB drives, SSDs, HDDs, and CF cards, and supports formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, MTS, and WebM, among others. It addresses issues such as blurry, grainy, frozen, flickering, stuttering, or out-of-sync playback. For severe corruption, Advanced Repair uses a working sample file made with the same device and video format. The software can process unlimited files in one batch and lets users preview repairs before saving them. It is listed for Windows, macOS, and web browsers, but it is not for mobile devices; phone and tablet recordings need to be transferred to a Windows or Mac computer. The free download previews repaired files only up to 20% of their total size. Standard costs $49.99, paid once, Professional costs $59.99, paid once, and Premium costs $69.99, paid once; each edition is listed with a Single System license.
